I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Earthquake… again…
Yep. Another earthquake. I had just gotten of the phone with Carmen when I felt the slow, periodic roll of an earthquake. The shaking was relatively slow but fairly large in magnitude, and persisted for nearly ten seconds. The cat was not particularly happy with the shaking either, and he meowed to be let out (but then immediately came back for more food). Apparently the quake was of quite reasonable size: a 5.6 in the South Bay.
I usually shrug these things off, but this was actually big enough to be noticeable and a little disturbing. Hope all of you out there are fine.

Yeah, out here in Lagunitas it was smooth, but it was big enough and went on for a long enough time that I knew it was a 5+ before I went and looked it up.
Two shocks, and during the second one I was starting to think “I wonder if I’d be less prone to injury if I got up and tried to walk somewhere, or if I just stayed here on the deck that probably won’t collapse, but sure is swaying a lot”.
